Shen Tianshu tidied his clothes, wiped off the soles of his shoes that had just stepped on the mud on the shore, and after identifying the direction, he took Gao Xiuer back.
When she was about to reach the courtyard where Chu Shuheng was, she saw the old woman who had been following Mrs. Chu walking out. When she saw Shen Tianshu, the master and servant immediately showed expressions of surprise, and quickly came up to them and said, "Mrs. Tong, Madam Madam Guo and I have already persuaded the girl, and I am planning to go to the garden to look for you!"
"The back garden of this villa is very cleverly arranged. I just took a stroll and somehow came back." After finishing speaking, Shen Tianshu added, "It's just that my sister who accompanied me to the garden just now said She went to help me prepare tea, and then I walked to the west and didn't see her again."
"It's okay, I'll just send someone to find her." The mother-in-law quickly invited Shen Tianshu back to the room.
As soon as he entered the room, Shen Tianshu saw that Chu Shuheng's eyes were a little red and swollen. He must have cried just now.
Shen Tianshu turned his attention to Mrs. Guo.
Mrs. Guo showed a reassuring expression.
The curtains on the surrounding windows were all closed at this time, and Chu Shuheng sat dejectedly in front of the public. It seemed that he was really determined to undergo the examination.
Shen Tianshu stepped forward, and in order not to irritate her, he took out the pulse pillow from the medicine box and put it on the table and said, "I'll check the girl's pulse first."
She was not asked to take off her clothes for inspection as soon as she came up, and Shen Tianshu called her girl instead of Miss Chu. These two details made Chu Shuheng's tense spirit relax a little.
After diagnosing the pulse, Shen Tianshu looked at her tongue coating again.
The pulse was clear and thin, the coating was thin and greasy, and the tongue was light red, which further proved Shen Tianshu's guess about mastitis.
"When did the swelling and pain in the breasts start? How long has it been?" Shen Tianshu asked and then specifically said, "Since the girl is determined to treat the disease, I hope she can tell the truth, otherwise it will be meaningless."
"Almost two years." Chu Shuheng blushed and lowered his head.

"When did the breast swelling and pain start? How long has it been?"
"Almost two years." Chu Shuheng blushed and lowered his head.
The more Mrs. Chu listened, the uglier her face became. Many details were more serious than what Chu Shuheng had told her before.
After Shen Tianshu had asked everything he could ask, and checked everything else that could be checked, Shen Tianshu asked softly: "Miss, can you unbutton your clothes so I can check?"
Chu Shuheng immediately looked embarrassed, but under Mrs. Chu's glare, he raised his hand and slowly untied the lace on his chest, revealing the pink bellyband inside.
But her hands were behind her back for a long time without moving. It seemed that it was difficult to complete the action of unfastening her bellyband.
In the end, Mrs. Chu couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Have you forgotten what my aunt said just now? If you don't treat the disease quickly, if it gets serious in the future, your chest will become pitted like orange peel! Do you still want to get married?"
Chu Shuheng burst into tears when he was told that. He finally closed his eyes and untied his bellyband, revealing a pair of breasts.
"Don't be afraid, girl, I want to reach out and touch it." Shen Tianshu finished speaking softly, observing Chu Shuheng's expression, and then slowly stretched out his hand to press and check.
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when Shen Tianshu's slightly cold fingers touched his chest, Chu Shuheng couldn't help but tremble all over and subconsciously hid behind him.
Mrs. Chu took two steps forward and raised her hand to touch her back, making it impossible for her to hide back.
Shen Tianshu frowned as soon as he touched it. There were dozens of hard knots that could be touched on both breasts. They were as big as mung beans and as small as rice grains. The texture was medium, and some were hard, so they could move when pushed.
"Does it hurt?"
"It hurts!" Chu Shuheng's voice trembled, not sure whether it was because of severe pain or excessive embarrassment.
Fortunately, no hard knots were felt under both armpits.
But at Chu Shuheng’s age, it’s really rare for someone with such severe breast cancer to develop.
After checking, Shen Tianshu motioned to Chu Shuheng to fasten her clothes, and she got up and came out to wash her hands.
Mrs. Chu came out anxiously and asked, "Mrs. Tong, how is my little girl's condition?"
"Miss Chu's disease is breast cancer, which is caused by imbalance of Chong and Ren, liver qi stagnation and blood stasis.
"This is the first time I've seen someone so serious at such a young age."
Mrs. Chu was startled when she heard this, took Shen Tianshu's hand and asked, "What should we do? Is there any hope?"
"Mrs. Chu, don't be anxious. You can still be saved." Shen Tianshu wiped his hands and said, "But there is one more thing I want to ask clearly. Does Miss Chu usually have a bad temper and is prone to getting into trouble and sulking?"
Mrs. Chu was stunned when she was asked, and said, "How did Madam Tong know?"
"Miss Chu is young, unmarried and has no children. Logically speaking, she rarely suffers from this kind of disease, especially if it is so serious, so I guess a large part of the reason is from anger.
"The girl is young, and although her condition is a bit serious, it is not difficult to treat as long as she cooperates with treatment.
"You only need to use curculigo, epimedium, antler slices, Cistanche deserticola, cornus officinale, etc. to prepare Chongren. The properties of these medicines are warm but not hot, and the texture is moist but not dry. Trigonellae, Curcuma, peach kernels, and salvia miltiorrhiza can break blood stasis and dissipate knots. ; Shanzi mushrooms, seaweed soften hardness and reduce swelling, prepare Cyperus rotundus, turmeric, Corydalis corydalis to soothe the liver, regulate qi, and relieve pain; Deer horn slices, Zhishanji slices replenish the essence and blood of irregular menstruation, nourish Chongren, and reduce swelling: Motherwort, Angelica sinensis Regulate menstruation, nourish blood and remove blood stasis.
"The combination of various medicines can make the swelling and pain disappear, but..."
Mrs. Chu didn't understand the functions of the previous medicinal materials, but when she heard Shen Tianshu say "but", she immediately became nervous.
Mrs. Guo just said a lot of alarmist words according to Shen Tianshu's arrangement, which not only frightened Chu Shuheng, but also made Mrs. Chu worried. She looked at Shen Tianshu nervously.
"But I also put the ugly words first. It is easy to cure the disease, but it is not so easy to change the temper and temperament.
"If we want to cure Miss Chu's disease, we still have to deal with her personality and temper. Otherwise, even if she is cured this time, she will still be prone to getting angry again in the future."
"Then please ask Mrs. Tong to prescribe medicine first. I will try my best to enlighten the little girl and let her change her temper."
Mrs. Chu was also troubled by her daughter's temper. Chu Shuheng had always wanted to be strong since he was a child. If he was not as good as others, he would lock himself in his room and sulk.
It has been a bad habit for more than ten years, how can it be changed so easily?
But this is all our own business, so there is no need to talk about it in front of outsiders.
Just when Shen Tianshu spread out the paper and pen to write the prescription, the mother-in-law's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"I have met the master. The girl is undergoing a physical examination. I dare to ask the master to stay."
